...nobody remembers, when we do wrong nobody forgets." Yet many Hells Angels have clearly lived up to their lawless image - arrests and convictions for drug trafficking (especially meth), assault, weapons possession and even murder have trailed the group for decades. Most notoriously, Hells Angels allegedly plotted to kill rock legend Mick Jagger following the infamous 1969 riot at California's Altamont Speedway, where the gang was providing security.

Although he often spoke of a novel in progress, it has never been...
...story follows the Arthurian legend: Arthur (Bradley Dean) marries Guenevere (Erin Davie) to unite war-torn England. To secure peace, Arthur establishes the Knights of the Round Table, who use “might for right.” Entranced by this utopia, a French knight, Lancelot (Maxime de Toledo), leaves his native country to join Arthur’s court. Lancelot becomes the king’s right-hand man—and the queen’s secret lover. Guenevere and Lancelot try to hide their romance, but Arthur’s bastard son, Mordred (Adam Shonkwiler), craving...
